The specified network name is no longer available

[Guest pscottllee]

We have a file server running W2K3. When trying to copy the file to another

W2K3 machine, I get the following error, "the specified network name is no

longer available." Nothing gets logged into the log file. From another W2K3

machine on a different subnet, I was able to successfully copy the file. I

then copied the file to the server that was having the issues. Networking

claims that there are no dropped packets. Anyone have the same issue?

Are these subnets listed in AD sites and services? In DNS?

Yes for both. You had the same idea that I had regarding DNS. I had someone

try copying the file from their workstation (XP SP2) and it also failed.

Do you want to access the file server with the server name or an alias ?
